Hello,

My SPARC build does not function and seg bus terminates on any command.
I have worked out the commit is the one that switched the default SHA1
code to sha1dc - commit e6b07da2780f349c29809bd75d3eca6ad3c35d19.  I
managed to get it working by following the instructions on updating the
library in commit 28dc98e343ca4eb370a29ceec4c19beac9b5c01e.

Should I generate & send a patch for this?  I would normally do just
that, but with an external library, the resulting patch required
conflict resolution on the merging so format-patch won't work with the
given instructions.

I should note that following the build instructions in commit
e6b07da2780f349c29809bd75d3eca6ad3c35d19 to switch back to openssl's
SHA1 implementation works fine.

Thanks,
Liam

Sorry, known issue in the released version 2.13 (we would have
appreciated if a bug report for -rc1 came way before the decision to
tag the final release).

A fix exists on 'pu' (you can merge or cherry-pick a0103914c2); it
was unfortunately held up with an unrelated enthusiasm around an
attempt to use submodule to manage this codebase in our project.

I'll try to untangle the fix proper and quickly merge down to the
maintenance track.

Thanks for a report.

Thank you for your prompt response.  I appreciate your enthusiasm around
submodule code as I've used them extensively in the past.  I'm happy to
hear you have a fix planned for the stable release branch.

Cheers,
Liam
